4 Typical PPSO Issues PPSOs are sometimes just set up and have to cover a remit there is no enabling infrastructure, process or authority provided. PPSOs work better if they have been designed and deployed as part of an EPM approach Challenges Oh dear. What is the Pipeline process for an organisation? Plan standards definition, deployment, governance (DDG)? Common processes DDG? Reporting Responsibilities Data integrity, availability, usability, effort involved?

5 EPM can meet these challenges People Processes Technology Organisation Strategy People Strategy EPM Process Technology

6 Why so important? Finance HR CRM Change EPM

7 Why introduce EPM? Some typical benefits Projects can be prioritised Projects can happen with authorisation Provide a definitive list of projects Enable Project benefits to be managed and realised Provide visibility of progress Provide understanding of resource capacity Support control of project budgets Manage Project risks, issues and changes Consistent approaches Control of project documentation

10 What to demo? Bust some of the myths about Project only being useful as a standalone tool (many people remember the Project Central offering, and base their views on that!) Show how a single dataset can be used at many levels from managing project detail to helping corporate investment decision-making What benefits does EPM give me over and above using un-integrated discrete tools - why should I go through all the pain, and what are the rewards Open people's minds as to how such a tool can improve the effectiveness of a PSO / PMO organisation and why PSO / PMO organisations are in a good position to drive forward their organisation's thinking in EPM A couple of demo's that make people go "Wow - that is powerful!" - opening minds about the value of EPM
